The Best of College Softball’s Halloween Costumes

By Justin McLeod

Cinderella took BP in the Oakland softball batting cages on Halloween Monday.

Between Halloween-themed practices and workouts last week and extra dressing-up over the weekend, college softball players and coaches had some serious ingenuity and creativity on display this Halloween. We compiled some of our very favorites.

Mississippi State and Stetson’s coaching staffs both had incredible video accompaniments to their costumes; check them out here (Mississippi State) and here (Stetson)

At the bottom of this compilation article, be sure to click the link to vote for your favorite costume from the college coaches group!
